Soviet space emblems in the cosmos

Gabriel García, a follower of the project and a writer in the very interesting Zemiorka (a blog about astronautics and cosmonautics since, quoting their own words, 'anything can be related, in some way, to Sputnik') sends us to the link for one of the articles about the Soviet emblems carried by the various USSR Space missions. They were made of titanium, which is resistant to hostile atmospheres such as that of Venus, interestingly, 'one of the planets wich were privileged by the Soviet space program'.

The emblems (of which duplicates were later made for the high ranks, and little badges were made for the crew and the visitors in Star City; and which you can find in our online store) are an interesting effort to gather graphic information which ,in many occassions, contains a silhouette of the ship, its path, allusions to the mission and even the date. Therefore, they constitute an interesting source of information about missions which we don't know much about; missions which werer partial or complete failures.

By the way, those of you who want to know more about Star City, you have our director's diary (Nicolás Alcalá) available.
